The Revenge of The Thin Blue Line 6: One More Cup of Coffee

But I don't sense affection
No gratitude or love

One more cup of coffee for the road
One more cup of coffee 'fore I go - Bob Dylan, One More Cup of Coffee (1976)

The War on Police... For some reason Police Officers from Sea to Shining to Sea are lying about their daily cup of coffee. Two of the most recent examples of lying Cops and the Wurlitzer of Blue Line Lovin' come from Oklahoma and Kansas City but, Officers are not just blaming Starbucks (although Starbucks as illustrated is still the prime target).

In Oklahoma, an Officer claimed the barista printed the name PIG on the cup and the Chief of Police Johnny O'Mara jumped upon it to denounce Starbucks, get the barista and manager fired, and Black Rifle Coffee Company saw a chance to lick some jackboots and sell some coffee to police. Of course, the incident as dramatized in deleted facebook posts by the Oily Chief of Police O'Mara was a lie and O'Mara's daughter pointed out her father is a lying sack of pig shit and attention whore.

In Kansas City, an Officer saw all the attention being paid and decided he needed some of that sweet butt salve and claimed a McDonald's employee wrote in sharpie "Fucking Pig". The rightwing internet roared back into gear and denounced minimum wage workers, immigrants, the left, libtards, Cop haters, Democrats... but, then... the McDonald's Manager dropped the hammer. There's video and the video completely exonerates the employees. The Officer was forced to resign one day later.

This is inexplicable to me. I know from multiple personal experience that various coffee shops will give out coffee free to Officers, employees see Officers every day and know what they like to drink, residents come up to thank the Officer for the "tough job" they do and offer to buy the cup of coffee for them*. If this display of obsequious fellatio was anymore graphic it'd be public indecency.

And yet...

And yet...

Despite all the adulation, there are Officers who apparently feel they need more. Why? Well I do know one reason: It's straight-up Agitprop. Officers dutifully and uncritically regurgitate this shit and get themselves angry. Over and over Officers, supposedly trained to detect lies, fall for and perpetuate outright propaganda. Why?

Well, there can be many reasons but, for me it gets back to the reactionary victim mentality. Boo-hoo-hoo woe is me I'm a victim. Conservatives saw that as America changed, groups of people right-wingers had gotten away with victimizing for centuries, began to fight back and win in the Courts and... the Court of public opinion. Now in the social media era, conservative bad actors are eager to foment dissension and advance the rightwing agenda of oppression and intolerance via any means possible see claiming Victimhood as a winning strategy.

Hence the Coffee Cups and the War on Cops Agitprop.

You Owe Me an Apology #Boycott Hamilton (Updated: Trump can not let it go)

Mike Pence attended a performance of Hamilton the musical. The audience booed him throughout and at the end Pence was given a stern lecture by "Aaron Burr" (Brandon Victor Dixon),

“We, sir — we — are the diverse America who are alarmed and anxious that your new administration will not protect us, our planet, our children, our parents, or defend us and uphold our inalienable rights,” he said. “We truly hope that this show has inspired you to uphold our American values and to work on behalf of all of us.”

Cue the Right-Wing Outrage! Donald Trump, himself, took time out of his looting the federal government, to demand an apology from the Cast and Theater which he described as being a safe space.

Now, while I could point out the hypocrisy of Trump demanding decorum after running a campaign on:

• Trump Pence: Fuck Your Feelings.
• Hillary Sucks. But, not Like Monica.
• Trump that Bitch.

Or after explicitly stating Political Correctness was the cause of America's woes, while stoking the fires of angry white resentment. Or that Trump's supporters now believe they are unleashed to engage in campaigns of intimidation, harassment and violence towards "the other". Or that they same group which played revolutionary dress up for 6 years, threatened to bring their guns, portrayed President Obama as a witch doctor, a lying Kenyan (instead of a Kenyan Lion), and invented all sorts of scandals based on faux and fake news that would be a sisyphean task. Hypocrisy never found so ardent a follower than the American Conservative.

No what's more important is that the President-Elect of the United States, the most powerful person in the Federal Government, is demanding censorship of free speech.

Yes, yes a large swath of conservative wimps like Michelle Malkin, Newt Gingrich, and Eric Erickson RedState have jumped forward to demand the apology and #BoycottHamilton is trending amongst right-wingers but, who cares that group of cultural dilettantes were not going to go to rap musical with a minority cast.

Trump is going to be spewing forth this diarrhea for 4 years and with the power of the FBI and Department of Justice behind him, egged on by lame-ass conservative pussies I can't wait until the new House Un-American Committee is stood up.

Demanding an apology makes right-wingers look weak and ineffectual. Keep it up conservatives.

Update:

Donald Trump can not let it go. Trump tweeted that he hears Hamilton is overrated and reiterrated his demand they apologize. Meanwhile on Faux News, Judge Jeanine Pirro, suffering from 8 years of right-wing ammnesia, screeched Mike Pence must be respected and accepted and screamed the Hamilton cast should stick to "hip-hop" and "dance" and poor Pence was subjected to "out-and-out reverse racism".

We can clearly see Faux News will unflappably carry the torch for Trump and will readily engage in whipping up conseravtive drones into a fury to distract from Trump's failures and scandals. Because does anyone know Trump agreed to pay $25,000,000 for Fraud in the Trump University Case? Well, since there apparently weren't emailz involved the Media doesn't find it all that worrisome.

The next four years are going to be replete with fraud, theft, scandal, misery and death for Americans and the World.
